thank you all for taking the time to answer! Ive been googeling like a maniac så ill take the advise to cave in to tandy pattern and try to adjust it the way i want.. Ill keep you posted if i manage to put them together!

And now i got an order for 3 pairs of chaps... And I feel that its a compleate different story. How come its nothing out there to bye exept for tandys chap patterns. They feel kind of out of style. Any ideas anyone? I live in sweden so there is no way to just go in a store to look at them...

Im a big fan of dog collars! Nice ones

yes! i just put in the cheek pieces coz im not ready with the noseband, and here is the other ready piece

this goes on the sides and attach to the bit.

Im doing an english headstall rigt now, i will post it as soon as possible! just finishing the noseband ( is it called that?).

its just a plain collar, nothing fancy at all but it was really fun to do. Its made out of a black coated leather så it made the lettres stand out (or in , depends on the point of view)

im so impressed by your first headstall! It looks real good!

Its made out of white leather, 3mm. handstiched. I tried to talk them out of getting a white dog collar, i was afraid it would be dirty before it even was put on the dog!

hey! really nice looking! Im a dog collar freak 2, if you wanna check my stuff out www.yeska.se

hey wildrose i went to look at your page and it kind of look scandinavian! celtic style is really big here as well, i liked your cat and the dragon! /i

Its a 3 year long course and the only one here in scandinavia. It could really do whith a really good teacher in craftmanship( is it called that, tooling and carving) since its a school of scandinavian tradition and we never really carved in leather to make pictures,patterns and braiding the way you do over seas. So we learn to make harness and driving gear and some saddlemakeing and repairs. But I got to say Im loving every minute of it. this is my class www.saddlerynewbies.blogspot.com if you go there, be sure to say hi!

I cant give you any new advise, but im really into dog collars right now and if you want to check some out youre welcome, i like to line mine so if you have any questions how to, im happy to help www.yeska.se

indeed it is! I was hopeing others would share the same sort of ideas that just pop up when u need them, -like what do you do if you forgot your creaser? I took one of my kitchen knifes with s soft round end, heated it on an candle and bobs your uncle!

im in school learning leather, and i took work home thinking i would do some serious finish on my belt. I found myself forgetting my polishing bone at school. I got a dog she got a big shewed old bone laying on the floor and you know what i got this brilliant shine now i just got to tell someone! ( i put on gelatin first) /i
